2-{(E)-[(3-Iodo-4-methylphenyl)imino]methyl}-4-(trifluoromethoxy)phenol

Abstract

The title compound, C15H11F3INO2, adopts the enol–imine tautomeric form. The molecule displays an E conformation with respect to the imine C=N double bond. The dihedral angle between the two benzene rings is 12.4 (2)°. The molecular conformation is stabilized by an intramolecular O—H...N hydrogen bond, which generates an S(6) ring motif. The trifluoromethoxyphenyl group is disordered over two sites with an occupancy ratio of 0.621 (6):0.379 (6). The crystal structure features C—H...π interactions.
